Nevada Goes Electronic

Sierra Health Services is partnering
with the Clark County Medical Society to
provide funding for electronic prescribing
(e-prescribing) for physicians practicing
in Nevada. Allscripts will provide the e-prescribing
technology for this statewide
initiative.

The organizations are working together
to promote the use of e-prescribing to
enhance quality, reduce potential medication
errors, and improve satisfaction
and convenience.

As part of the initiative, Allscripts provided
Sierra Health Services with a lower
rate for e-prescribing. Physician members
of the Clark County Medical Society
will be eligible for a 10-year software
license at no charge, and it will fund up to
2 years of monthly maintenance services.
All other physicians in Nevada are
eligible to receive the software at no
charge but will be responsible for a minimal
monthly fee.
